Historic American Buildings Survey
The Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) is an architectural preservation endeavor by the United States Library of Congress. HABS partners large format film photographers with local architectural firms to produce archival quality 4x5 negatives and measured drawings of historically significant American constructions. Serving as the photographer on HABS projects at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi in 2014, Fort Pike, LA in 2014 and the Old Galilee Missionary Baptist Church, Shreveport, LA 2019, I photographed and hand processed negatives and prints to meet the 500 year archival standard the Library of Congress requires.
